Hibernia Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Many have sailed to the land of Hibernia
Many have taken the spoils
Over the waves to the land of Hibernia
Coming to conquer our soil
There is a people in the land of Hibernia
Crushed on the stem like a rose
But we are the queens and the kings of Hibernia
And we have this song in our souls
[Chorus]
I am the wind blowing upon the sea (Insula Nobilis, Insula Fatalis, Insula Sanctorum, Insula Factorum Insula Nobilis, Insula Fatalis, Insula terra final)
I am the wave roaring up from the deep
(Insula Nobilis, Insula Fatalis, Insula Sanctorum, Insula Factorum Insula Nobilis, Insula Fatalis, Insula terra final)
[Verse 2]
Land of the Druid and land of the Dreamer
Land of the scholars of old
Land of the poet and land of the warrior
Ériu and Banba and Fódla
There is a people in the land of Hibernia
Rising when battle drums roll
For we are the queens and the kings of Hibernia
And we have this song in our soul
[Chorus]
I am the wind blowing upon the sea (Insula Nobilis, Insula Fatalis, Insula Sanctorum, Insula Factorum Insula Nobilis, Insula Fatalis, Insula terra final)
I am the wave roaring up from the deep
(Insula Nobilis, Insula Fatalis, Insula Sanctorum, Insula Factorum Insula Nobilis, Insula Fatalis, Insula terra final)
